Loved how you presented Winnipeg! Also, love how it’s seen through other people’s eyes.

[LIKAXY]

I totally agree with you, this city is beautiful!!

I’ve lived in Manitoba all my life (I love Winnipeg!) & I can’t remember seeing shorts outdoors when it’s colder than -15c. I have, however, seen snow fall in June, and in September.

I love the film-making scene here, and if you do too, definitely check out the Exchange district. And if you love theatre like I do, come in the 2nd half of July for the awesome Fringe Theatre festival, where you can see over a hundred different shows.

Very cool. I am born and raised here so it was interesting to see another person's perspective. Thanks for posting!

Winnipegger here. Pretty decent video and good info *in general*.
Couple of things:
1. Canada has two official languages, English & French. That’s why all signs in Canada are bilingual (by law). It’s not a Winnipeg thing.
2. Pretty close on the winter thing, but it left the impression that winter lasts until
May. Not so. We usually get our snow that stays for the winter (as opposed to falling & melting) around the middle of Nov. and the spring melt usually starts in March. We’re usually golfing by mid-April. But yes, sometimes we’ll get a freak snow as late as June, but anything after mid-April just melts within an hour. Winters can have a couple of “cold snaps” each year that can last as long as 2 weeks, but those are the extremes. Usually not nearly that cold. The good news is, when it’s cold, it’s also brilliantly sunny, and the streets are bone dry. When it gets warm, it’s more cloudy, and the streets get messy. I prefer the cold, sunny days (within reason!). Go Jets Go!!!

People talk about the cold but few talk about the intense heat 😅

Was very privileged to have lived in Winnipeg for almost 5 years and fell in love with it. There is surprisingly much to do and it's very culturally diverse.

My mom was born to american parents here in 1933 and lived here till she was 16 before moving to the States. She always spoke so fondly of Winnipeg. I’d love to visit some time tho maybe not in wintertime 😊

[AphelionBeach]

Dats what I been telling winter cold, yes, although it's sunny, making winter beautiful

[avegillman]

The city is as beautiful as it is heart-rending. The (new) mayor and council have their work cut out for them in cleaning up the obvious, long-standing problems of poverty and crime. Beyond that, it's a city with "great bones" and could literally go either way at this turnpike.

The winter doesn't bother me. I've got to visit!

[ssrip]

The difference between Christmas and the end of March is daylight, temperature stays the same.

Great video. Thanks. While Winnipeg is cold in the winter, Winnipeg is also one of the warmest in the summer and sunniest cities in Canada. Winnipeg is in the heart of lake country, surrounded by many lakes nearby and very nice beaches on those lakes, which can be very refreshing on one of those 30+ degree days in the summer.

[paulhiebert]

If you come for winter, I suggest the last two weeks of February. The days are getting longer and warmer and you can check out the Festival du Voyager, the second biggest winter festival in Canada celebrating the French pioneers, Metis and native fur trappers and traders who plied there trades along the banks of the Red and Assiniboine rivers and many other tributaries and lakes from Thunderbay to the the northern territories of Canada. It's a fun filled two weeks.

Fishing is really big here year round as well, as well as cycling!

[sunnavailable]

I not saying Winnipeg is cold but when I went to the Forks last winter the warming huts on the river were closed because it was too cold. People in Winnipeg understand the cold.

[AndreNicholasJr]

HEY I LIVE THERE. THATS MY HOME CITY, AND ITS BEAUTIFUL :D

[MWish]

Thank you, as a "Pegger" I enjoyed your video. Just a comment about the mosquitoes - they aren't as bad as they used to be - really! We have had a really great environmentally friendly control system in place for several years. I barely notice them now. In August we have Folklorama, the largest and longest-running (54 years) multicultural festival of its kind in the world. 38 pavilions this year! The winters are cold but I guess I'm used to them. There is so much to do in winter to keep you warm, like the Festival du Voyageur, the largest Francophone event in Western Canada every February, Hé ho!!. Also, the normally 6km Nestaweya River Trail is loads of fun though we had such a mild winter this year that only one section opened at the end of January - this is where you'll see many of the spectacular warming huts.
